Photographer of the Day: 09 – Leibovitz

Annie Leibovitz
Another favorite photographer, for her versatile, daring and crafty style. I was able to see her exhibition: A Photographer’s Life, and many of her original prints in Paris a couple of years ago.

I have one of her books (American Music) in my office in case you’d like to look at. Follow this link for some images from the series.

    Annie Leibovitz also has the same fairytale like quality in some of her images as Eugenio Recuenco. I think I like the more neutral colors used in Recuenco’s work rather than these bold colors used by Leibovitz. It makes it more believable to me to have natural colors in an unnatural setting because it isn’t an overload of false information…if that makes any sense? I l do ove the way the characters are represented in Leibovitz’s work. They look almost like porcelain, and I think it makes the shot more beautiful.

    I agree with Brandy on that Annie Leibovitz has an insane amount of whimsical quality to her photos. However, I also really enjoyed her photographs of WIllie Nelson and people playing guitar. The quality of the pictures is amazing and adds a more realistic quality than her other photos, but they still have that fairytale feel.
